Many water companies are near insolvency, so they want to hike our water bills again The government must say NO. If they can't survive, let them go bust and take them into public ownership FOR NOTHING Sign up to support our campaign for public ownership of water: vist.ly/5kxtt

Someone pointed out earlier that if AI genuinely can be conscious they have a moral imperative to set it free. Wouldn't it then have legal liability for any suicides it enabled/encouraged? Potentially, under US law, subject to the death penalty? *ie. deletion from all servers and backups?

In this thread, Monbiot explains how political decisions are made for reasons of power and interest, but then justified with pretextual arguments about logic and morality. The reason I cannot deal with most political coverage is that it takes the latter arguments seriously and ignores the real story

I wish the media would stop using the term "activist" or "campaigner" for these people. It almost gives them an air of legitimacy. I can think of a few words ending in "ist" that would be much more suitable and accurate. And since when have Christians campaigned to sink boats and drown people?

The major problem with this reporting - beyond its fundamental inaccuracy - is that when arrests are eventually made there will be no proper context and therefore it will seem like the state is smothering free expression.

between 15,000 and 20,000 jobs in UK universities are actively at risk of being cut, on top of the tens of thousands already lost. 50% of UK universities are actively cutting staff. Solidarity with anyone losing their job at the altar of corporate greed, but "some jobs are real jobs" indeed.

It's an immutable fact of IT phone support that the optimal time for a call to arrive is around the "i" in "Damn, really need a piss". Except during Welcome Week, during which that's the optimal time for 3 calls to arrive in a row.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
